Hi,
I've tested this in the past. On my OM-4 and OM-4Ti, the flash _will_ fire
& synch in manual 1/60 as long as there is at least some power in the
batteries.
Excellent!
Then I will assume for the time being that I more or less guesstimated the
distance correctly, and will continue to use the remainder of the film at
100 ASA, and have it processed as such (rather than pushing it one stop)...
Btw, there's another pitfall with the 1/60 manual setting: the winder or MD
can't be used! If you try this (just test it w/o film and an open back)
everything sounds ok, the flash fires, but amazingly the curtain doesn't
open (or reverts to a very small slit that doesn't allow synching). I
learned this the hard way, wasting a roll on a unique performance :( Ever
since I carry spare batteries in my wallet...
Yikes!
That's good to know!

Greedings you mean? I'ld rather have the 100/2 ;)

Cheerz!

PS: Wayne: yes, the flash did actually fire when the camera was on
mechanical 1/60th mode.
